Dirigible Balloon- Children's poetry!

Victory!! Two of my recent submissions have been chosen for publication!

Dirigible Balloon publishes poetry for children and you can submit yours!

It is time to celebrate! I submitted a few entries into the summer 2024 Dirigible Balloon contest and two of my entries were chosen for publication!

Published poems on the website appear as clickable balloons and provide a great list of poems for summer reading with your kiddo!

My winning submissions are displayed along with the other winners HERE. They are searchable if you search Amanda Blaylock or their titles.

Poem #1 Lightning Bug Cascade

This poem is inspired by the thousands of lightning bugs we would see as kids walking along the path at Roscoe Ewing Park in Media Ohio. The full poem can be viewed HERE.

Poem #2 Sprout!

This quick springtime poem is fun to read or sing and provided an extra challenge for me, as it was written in under 50 words! The full poem can be viewed HERE.

These poems are my first winning competition submissions and represent my first published work as an author! An exciting win for me!
